Issue No. 9 for 8-30-2016





Have you paid your Rotary dues?

It was reported at the Board in August that only a bit over 50% have paid our annual dues so far. This makes it really difficult for the Treasurer when paying the District and National dues for the club.  Please send in your checks.  Thanks.

Help the Lake Chelan Chamber with Trip Planning

The Lake Chelan Chamber of Commerce is planning a group trip in 2017 and we need your feedback. Anyone who completes the survey will be entered to win $100 in Chamber Bucks. Where would you be interested in going? What time of year is best? By land or sea? Please take a few minutes to complete our  survey so we can be sure to take you into account when planning. Thank you!

 
   Thanks to Kelly & Doug Allen for a super social event!

Wednesday night was a beautiful Chelan evening for dinner and beverages on the Allen patio.  Thanks Kelly & Doug for opening your home to our membership.  The September social will be at Tildio Winery on September 21.  Here are a few photos from this week:

                           


Want to go Rallying?



The second Leavenworth Rotary Road Rally is scheduled for the afternoon of Sunday, August 28. Last year everyone had fun. Each car should have at least two people and will be given clues to follow. The goal is to end up in the right place in the shortest amount of time by following the clues. Rotarians will provide a potluck at the finish - if you don't end up in the right place in a timely manner, each car has a sealed envelope with directions that can be opened if lost. If you are interested, you need to sign up for a start time (the first car departs at 1:00 and start times are  staggered). There is a $5.00 charge per person. If you're in town, do consider taking part - we had a blast last year.  Call Tom Boyd for reservations:  (509) 548-5829.



             
    

Last week our program was Massai Chief Les, and Princess Tiffany.  Because of the lighting the slides of their trip to Kenya were hard to see from some areas of Sorrento's.  Below is a link for you to be able to see all the slides:

HOW DO YOU COMMUNICATE THE BENEFITS OF JOINING OUR CLUB?
In talking to prospective members, do you consider their interests and needs when you are explaining the benefits of Rotary membership? Here are some popular benefits that Rotary members worldwide have associated with being a part of a Rotary club:
* Making a positive impact on one's community through service projects
